Lower Primary Programmes

Teachers of lower primary pupils will find much in the Folk Park to help develop an awareness of the past and to introduce the concept of evidence, especially artefacts and oral evidence. The following programmes have been specially designed for the younger child.

They can smell the peat fire, listen to the clock tick, taste food cooked on the open-hearth fire and handle the objects that interest them. Eating sleeping, washing, dressing, playing and feeding the hens are all covered in this study which lasts for 1 hour. Numbers limited.
